A Knight's Tale (6.7/10)

This 2001 Adventure/Action film starring Heath Ledger felt like a medieval fairy tale—which isn’t my favorite genre. The story centers heavily on jousting, a form of tournament combat I find less exciting than others. Despite the charming cast and unique premise, it landed below average for me. "Peasant-born William Thatcher (Heath Ledger) begins a quest to change his stars, win the heart of a fair maiden (Shannyn Sossamon), and rock his medieval world. With the help of friends (Mark Addy, Paul Bettany, Alan Tudyk), he faces the ultimate test of medieval gallantry—tournament jousting—while striving to discover if he has the mettle to become a legend."
